Change font size in matching drop-down quiz question

Hi Steven,

If I'm looking at the correct setup, with a matching drop down quiz in Storyline, you should be able to change that font size and color. If you open the slide with the quiz and select the drop down, you should be able to highlight the text that shows there and set it to whatever size or color you'd like. Now, I'm not sure if the "Select" text can be changed, but the answer can.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Thanks Christine. I think you're right, it only seems possible to change the size of the answer text, no "Select". Shame as it looks a bit messy with different font sizes.

Hi Steven and Christine,

I was able to change the font size for the word "Select" and the question. I've attached the .story file and a screen shot here. In the screen shot take a look at the red arrows:

If you select the question box and then change the type size, it will change the size for the question and the words within.

You can check it out in the attached story.

Good morning,

Thanks very much for sharing this information Rebecca Learn something new every day.

I hope you have a great Friday!

Christine

and good Friday to you as well, Christine

Thanks Rebecca, that worked a treat

I found this post and had a question along the same lines.  I am being asked to change the color of the choices when they are being dragged over in a drop down quiz.  

They want the blue highlighted from this picture to be a different blue.  I used the sample from above.

Hi Khoi and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

The hover color for the matching drop down is not one that can currently be changed. I'd definitely suggest sharing your thoughts in the form of a feature request, as that helps our product development team to know what our users would need and track the total number of requests. 

Thank You Leslie.  Not the answer I was hoping for but better than no answer at all.  

Is there a way to download your story file?

Hi Kevin! Unfortunately Rebecca does not make it back to the forums these days (retirement will do that it seems), but I did not have any issue with her file and thought I'd re-attach here to see if it will work for you.

That worked. Thanks.

Glad to hear it! Hope you find what you need in there :)

Is there a way to change the spacing in the drop down text?  My box is very close together.

Hi, Njeanne -- To the best of my knowledge, there is not a way to adjust the line spacing, but you would be able to resize the text in the drop downs to possibly make it smaller and alleviate some of the crowding with your text. 

Hi! I know this thread is a bit older, but was wondering if there's a way to change the actual font for the drop down options? I've been publishing my entire module in Bliss and for some reason, even if I change the font of my options to Bliss, it publishes the question with Arial as the font and is super small. Any ideas?

Hey Bridgitte, 

I'm happy to help! Can you share your .story project file here so I can take a closer look? You can add it as an attachment in a comment like this:

Thanks!

I know this is an older thread, but I seem to be running into the same sort of problem with matching questions. I can't seem to resize the boxes of the matches so that the text is the same size in all of them. There is lots of room on the page and in theory, they are all Arial 16, but in practice, they aren't. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hey Diane! Appreciate you including your file. The Matching Drag-and-Drop objects are a fixed size, so text will shrink to fit as you add more text.

Have you considered making a custom matching activity using a freeform drag-and-drop slide instead? That way, you have the freedom to design the slide however you like!

No, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks so much for the tip!

Hello, 

I'm working on a quiz with Rise 360,  and I can't change the font of the answers for Matching questions. The Font/Paragraph option doesn't appear. i'm working with formulas and an need  to write for example this: on the answers. Fe₃O₄

Hi, Monica!

Good news! I found a fix for your issue! When you input the answer type it with standard characters. After typing the answer, select the character you want to change to subscript with your mouse. After you select the character, a menu will pop-up showing formatting options including subscript!

Thanks for reaching out!
